Settling Down Lyrics by Jerry Cantrell

Boggy Depot

1998

[Verse 1]
Though you're always on my mind
Found a sickness that was mine
Chose a life out on the run
All alone inside this game until I'm done

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sometimes, I don't think I can trust myself no more

[Verse 2]
Seems I've failed you all my life
Youthful dreams you'd be my wife
Before I fall into the sun, yeah, yeah
If there never is again, you were the one

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes, I don't think I can trust myself no more
So I don't feel that I can love you anymore

[Chorus]
On this settling down
Oh, I better lay down and rest a while
On this settling down
Oh, I better lay down and rest a while

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes, I don't think I can trust myself no more
And I don't know if I can love you anymore

[Chorus]
On this settling down
Oh, I better lay down and rest a while
On this settling down
Oh, I better lay down and rest a while

[Chorus]
On this settling down, yeah
Oh, I better lay down and rest a while
On this settling down, yeah
Oh, I better lay down and rest a while

[Outro]
And I say no
I say no
And I say no
